Agnes Kagure, a Nairobi-based businesswoman and politician, has called on Kenyan leaders to put the people first and focus on service delivery rather than being consumed by political campaigns and unending politicking.

Her message comes at a time when political tensions in the country are rising, with leaders from the grassroots to the highest levels seemingly more focused on their next political move than on improving the lives of their constituents.

Through her X handle on September 16, Kagure voiced her concerns about the current political climate, urging those in office to remember why they were elected in the first place.

“It is an act of disservice to the people when those in office think and talk of nothing but the next election, while there is so much to be done; election promises to be fulfilled, services to be offered, and lives to be improved. Truly saddening,” she said.

Her remarks come as Kenya’s political landscape becomes increasingly heated, with leaders from the MCA level all the way to the presidency engaging in frequent shadowboxing, each trying to outmaneuver the other.

With the next election still a few years away, the focus on politicking has left many Kenyans feeling neglected, especially as critical services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure remain underfunded or incomplete.

Kagure highlighted the importance of leadership that looks beyond elections and seeks to create a lasting impact for future generations. “Leaders think about the next generation while dealers focus on the next election. Let’s talk service delivery, not just elections,” she remarked.

Her call for action has struck a chord with many Kenyans, who are increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of development and the constant political drama that seems to dominate the country’s headlines.

Kagure reminded leaders that they were elected to serve, not to campaign endlessly, and urged them to get back to the work they promised to do.

“The obsession with staying in power has overshadowed the responsibility to improve the lives of Kenyans,” she said. “It is time our leaders stop thinking about themselves and their political careers and start focusing on the needs of the people.”
